On any given day, Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) accepts dozens of dogs and cats in need of a home. There’s a final twist to this story: recent studies have shown that affection for pets goes hand-in-hand with concern for the natural world. It seems that people can be roughly divided into those that feel little affinity for animals or the environment, and those who are predisposed to delight in both, adopting pet-keeping as one of the few available outlets in today’s urbanised society.

About half of the households in Britain alone include some kind of pet; roughly 10m of those are dogs while cats make up another 10m. Pets cost time and money, and nowadays bring little in the way of material benefits. But during the 2008 financial crisis, spending on pets remained almost unaffected , which suggests that for most owners pets are not a luxury but an integral and deeply loved part of the family.

Birds are fascinating and beautiful creatures, but they are not easy-care pets. They are intelligent, social animals and need plenty of attention. Before you add a bird to your family, make sure you’re willing to spend time with your feathered friend each day. Also, in the wild, birds are flock animals, so if you’re thinking about getting a bird, you might think about getting two. Life alone in a cage is not much of a life for a bird.
